>> well, i absolutely support the obama administration's very resolute response, firm response to what's going on in the korean peninsula. i think south korea and united states not doing much to all their provocations. first nuclear test, second nuclear test, missile launches, even just three years ago and so on. so this is the first time that we are really showing a firm response. and i support that. i think that's a good idea. >> sue mi, think back to his father and grandfather and people entirely unpredictable in their behaviors, this was a young man western educated, a lot of people had hoped he was a guy who could be maybe a game changer in terms of north korea's relationship with the outside world. what do you make of his motivation? a lot of people would have thought this guy would know better. >> right. first of all, you know, kim jong-un is actually making -- as unpredictable as his father was, he was at least more of a known quantity to us because we dealt with him for two decades, more than that. this guy obviously he's 29 years old, he's untested. he's been in power for just
